1.0 INTRODUCTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yet another guide for you to use incase you need any help in Going Commando. I have taken
the time to provide
a brief yet helpful description on the location of each Platinum Bolt and how you can get
it. I apologize for
the empty planets, but I'm still working on acquiring all 40 bolts. I will update this
guide as soon as I get
more bolts. In any case, I have all the bolts from the regular levels.
If you have any questions or another strategy, send me an e-mail or private message. Any
hints you send me
will be added to the guide, and I will answer your questions the best I can. Enjoy!
====================================================================================
2.0 OOZLA
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.1 TRACTOR BEAM PILLARS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first Platinum Bolt is located where you purchased the tractor beam. Return there and
look up towards the
high metal platform next to the mud. You will see the bolt glowing at the top. Use the
tractor beam to move
the two pillars into climbable position next to the bolt. Climb up there to get the first
Platinum Bolt.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2 HIDDEN SWAMP CAVE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After you complete the level, go through the downhill path. There will be a new swamp
creature waiting next to
a ledge. Hop on, and it will take you to a hidden cave further down the level. Inside the
cave, kill the
mutant fireflies and grab the Platinum Bolt on the platform. Use the second swamp beast to
head back.
====================================================================================
3.0 MAKTAR NEBULA
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1 CRANE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Head back down the left path until you get to the place after the limo. Straddle up
towards the higher
platform. Look at the crane to the right. You will see a Platinum Bolt on top of the
building the crane is
sitting on. Heli-jump up on the building and get the bolt.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.2 JAMMING ARRAY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to the Jamming Array (the spherical moon) in the limo. After you get out of the limo,
turn around. A low
platform will be back there with a lunar jump pad on top. Heli-jump up on the platform and
jump on the pad.
You will automatically grab an airborne Platinum Bolt.
====================================================================================
4.0 ENDAKO
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.1 SECOND CRANE ROOM
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the Platinum Bolts on this planet is hidden behind the elevated reinforced door in
the second crane
room. First, move the metal crate from the first room and drop it in front of the elevated
door. Now pick up
an explosive red crate and drop it on top of the metal crate. When it explodes, it will
reveal a Platinum Bolt.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.2 HIDDEN BALCONY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go down the path leading to Clank's apartment. Stop at the right 90 degree turn before the
pit with sweeper
bots, lights, and a trashcan (after the floating cargo platforms; there is a sealed door
on the left wall with
security cameras floating overhead). Walk over the the edge of the platform and look down.
You will spot a
small balcony down below you with a Platinum Bolt. Jump down to get it, then climb the
ladder back out.
====================================================================================
5.0 BARLOW
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.1 HIDDEN MUTANT CAVE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go through the Swing Shot course as usual. When you get to the last room before the set of
four Versa-Targets,
turn and jump at the greenish wall on the outer perimeter of the building. Straddle along
the wall around the
building until you find an extra platform. Use the Swing Shot across the pit to get to the
large cave. When
you get there, kill all the mutant dog things inside as you make your way through. The
Platinum Bolt will be
waiting somewhere towards the center.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.2 HOVERBIKE RACETRACK
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Platinum Bolt is very easy to miss. If you watch the replay after finishing a race
with the camera facing
back, you should see it tucked away in a corner near the start. So go ahead and start a
race. The bolt is
hidden inside the left greenish wall on the first right turn after the water ski jumps,
near the start. When
you barely pass the bolt, make a 180 degree turn to go back and get it.
====================================================================================
6.0 FELTZIN SYSTEM
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1 ACE BUNYON CHALLENGE--NOT FOUND
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Defeat Ace Bunyon in the fourth challenge and fly through all fifty rings.
====================================================================================
7.0 NOTAK
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.1 MEGACORP BILLBOARD
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go down the promenade. When you get to the second set of buildings, look to the right side
(your right) of the
last building and destroy the billboard next to it. The Platinum Bolt will be revealed
behind the building.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.2 SEALED DYNAMO DOORS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You've probably seen the large double-doors on the docks. There is a Platinum Bolt behind
them, and you'll
have to activate a hidden Dynamo trigger to open the doors. Run through the path that
gives you Slim Cognito's
coordinates to clear out all the enemies (this will make reaching the door on time
easier). Go to the platform
below the first right corner of the last dock. They Dynamo trigger will be on the pillars.
Activate the
trigger and quickly run up to the highest dock and to the large doors. They will open to
reveal the bolt. Run
inside to get the bolt. Use the Dynamo trigger inside the building to get back out.
-Second Strategy-
My sister found an unintended way to open the doors more easily. From the dock with the
sealed doors, locate
the Dynamo trigger from below. Stand back by the large doors and take out the Dynamo,
facing the trigger. You
should notice that a green target is exposed. Activate the trigger and you can go right
through the doors with
time to spare.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.3 BEHIND THE BUILDINGS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Platinum Bolt is hidden behind the buildings immediately after the small bridge by your
ship. After crossing
it, walk onto the grass area and go behind the buildings. You will find the bolt.
====================================================================================
8.0 SIBERIUS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.1 CARGO HANGAR
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go through to the upper hangar ledge with the Megacorp flamethrower robots hiding on top.
Kill all the robots
and find the small Tractor Beam pillar below the elevator. Take out the Tractor Beam and
take the pillar to
the last ledge before the hangar. Jump on the pillar and use the ledge to get into the
hangar. The Platinum
Bolt will be in the back of the hangar.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.2 BEHIND THE FENCE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You've more than likely seen this Platinum Bolt behind the fence, but it's not very
obvious how to get it. The
key is to jump from the Tractor Beam pillar. Bring the pillar up the elevator and put it
on the edge as far as
it will go to the right of the building. Jump on top and glide around the building,
towards the lower
snow-covered platform. Land on top of the black metal pillar next to the fence. Jump off.
You are now behind
the fence, able to get the Platinum Bolt. To exit, jump back onto the black pillar and
climb back over.
-Second Strategy-
I recently discovered you can use the Charge Boots endlessly by holding down R1 after
tapping it twice. I took
advantage and found a cheat way to get this Platinum Bolt. On the cliff of your ship,
stand on the ice
formations on the edge. Line yourself up with the fenced-off snowy ledge and use the
Charge Boots ability I
found (tap R1 twice, but this time hold it after the second tap). You will be able to
charge right into the
fenced area without the Tractor Beam.
====================================================================================
9.0 TABORA
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.1 REMOTE DESERT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Platinum Bolt is exactly hidden, but it's located in a distant, remote part of the
desert. If you look at
the map, you should see a dark gray circle (if you have the Map-o-Matic, the circle will
be green) along the
farthest part of the desert from the town. Use the map as a guide to find the gray circle.
The Platinum Bolt
will be sitting in the middle of the desert.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.2 FROZEN STEPS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go through the underground cave until you get to the interchangable steps. Instead of
freezing the steps so
they lead up towards the upper platform, have them go the opposite direction. Now climb up
the steps and look
to the left. A Platinum Bolt will be sitting inside an extra room.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.3 GLIDER COURSE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you acquire the Glider, this Platinum Bolt is impossible to miss. Simple make your
way through the cave
and glide across the lava pit at the end. Get the Glider at the end and fly through the
lava pit. Take it easy
and don't put too much pressure on the Analog stick. A Platinum Bolt will be your reward
for completing the
course.
====================================================================================
10.0 DOBBO
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10.1 SEALED DOOR
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to the last metal island before the Lunar City transformer pad. If you go around the
lower area before the
straddle ladder and look into the little room, you should see a small vent leading inside
the island. Take out
the Spiderbot Glove and send it inside the vent. When you see an opening to your left,
take that route. This
will take you to the room behind the sealed door with a Platinum Bolt inside as well as an
orange button. Step
onto the button to open the doors. Detonate the Spiderbot and go to get the bolt.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10.2 FACILITY REPAIR ROOM
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Platinum Bolt is very easy to miss and requires good timing. Enter the facility and
go through the glider
course as usual. When you reach the room with the orange plasma at the bottom, fly up
towards the ceiling. You
should see a Platinum Bolt floating within the support beams of the repair room. You will
automatically
acquire it when you fly into it.
====================================================================================
11.0 JOBA
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11.1 HIDDEN CLIFF
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go up to the bridge with a large wall on the left side. Go around the cliff to the right
of the entrance and
look up. A Swing Shot Versa-Target should be there. Take out the Swing Shot and line
yourself up with the
target. You cannot grab it from the ground, so double-jump towards the target and swing
across. Glide down
onto the cliff on the other side. There are lots of natives over there, so take out a good
weapon to clear
them out. Go over to the storage room on the other side of the cliff and press the button.
Kill any enemies in
there (I don't remember if there is a Jobian Saur-Beast in there or not) and get the
Platinum Bolt in the
window.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11.2 BACKGROUND TOWER
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Return to the place where you bought the Levitator. Stand on the pad and look up behind
you. You should see a
Platinum Bolt hidden on top of a background building. Activate the Levitator and fly up to
the building to
automatically get the bolt and jump back down.
====================================================================================
12. HRUGIS CLOUD
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12.0 ACE BUNYON CHALLENGE--NOT FOUND
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Defeat Ace Bunyon in the fourth challenge and fly through all fifty rings.
====================================================================================
13.0 TODANO
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13.1 TOUR GUIDE ROOM
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first Platinum Bolt on the planet is hidden in that room the tour bot enters before
and after each tour.
To get it, join the NPC robots in a tour (don't worry about the squirrels) until you reach
the end. When you
reach the end, follow the tour bot into the room after the tourists get on the bus. You
can enter the building
this way and get the Platinum Bolt. The door won't close until you exit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13.2 EXTRA CLIFF
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Platinum Bolt is cleverly hidden on an unreachable ledge outside the facility. Go
down into the first
room where you use the Tractor Beam inside the weapons facility. If you look up, you
should see an opening on
top of the yellow and black ledge. Move the two pillars into position by the opening so
you can climb up
there. Kill the robot that pops up and walk up to the building at the end of the cliff.
The Platinum Bolt will
be inside the building. You can also get the Captain Qwark figure from Aranos for the
fanboy to get the Bolt
Magnetizer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13.3 SEALED FACILITY CHAMBER
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The last Platinum Bolt on Todano is locked inside a small room on top of the conveyer
belts. First, go into
the room with the Tractor Beam robot and pillars. Ignore the enemies and move the pillar
under the lowest
conveyer belt. Jump up and look towards the wall. You will see a small air vent. Take out
the Spiderbot Glove
and send a bot through the vent. It will lead you to the sealed room. Step on the blue
button to open the door
and detonate the Spiderbot. Now jump up to the second conveyer belt and get the Platinum
Bolt at the end.
====================================================================================
14.0 BOLDAN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14.1 SEALED BACKROOM
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can probably see the first Platinum Bolt behind the glass, protected by a forcefield.
In the first part of
the level with the thugs, take the left path onto the cliff. Kill all the thugs and robots
and look to the
purple glass. You will see a small opening. Take out the Spiderbot and send one inside the
opening. Press the
orange button to disable the forcefield.
-Second Strategy-
I found that the Charge Boots can also help you get to the Platinum Bolt. Stand back about
thirty feet or so
from the glass and line yourself up with the opening. Now use the Charge Boots and try to
squeeze through the
hole. In a couple of tries you should get inside the glass without the Spiderbot.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14.2 HIDDEN PLATFORM
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Platinum Bolt is easy to miss. Go to the building with the purple glass roof. Climb
up the gravity ramp
to the upper ledge as usual. Now look back down towards the grass. You will find a
floating circular platform
with a Platinum Bolt on it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14.3 DOME PERIMETER
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to the end of the level, inside the orange glass dome where the Fizzwidget robot is. If
you look up, you
will see a Swing Shot Versa-Target above the perimeter of the dome. Take out the Swing
Shot and grab it. Walk
around the perimeter to get the last Platinum Bolt on Boldan.
====================================================================================
15.0 ARANOS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15.1 LOWER-LEVEL PLATFORM
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Platinum Bolt is hidden under the level and is very easy to miss. If you look down
through the glass by
your ship, you may see the bolt on a lower-level ledge. Jump off the upper-level and glide
down to the lower
one. It can be hard to reach it if you start out too far. Grab the bolt and use the
Levitator pad to fly back
up to the upper-level.
====================================================================================
16.0 GORN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16.1 ACE BUNYON CHALLENGE--NOT FOUND
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Defeat Ace Bunyon on the third challenge and fly through all fifty rings.
====================================================================================
17.0 SNIVELAK
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
17.1 EXTRA DYNAMO CHALLENGE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is one of the more difficult Platinum Bolts to acquire. Take the warp pad by your
ship to the bridge and
look around to the right. On the wall of the building is a secret (and difficult) Dynamo
Challenge. Glide down
to the platform below and hop on the elevator. Take out the Dynamo and activate all the
triggers as quickly as
possible to get across the platforms. Be careful not to jump too soon, or you will start
over. Take the
elevator at the end and repeat until you reach the top. Whenever you come to a set of
platforms that flip
other platforms when triggered, jump as soon as they start to flip. The only Platinum Bolt
on the planet will
be your reward.
====================================================================================
18.0 SMOLG
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
18.1 UNREACHABLE DOCKING SHIP
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Platinum Bolt is hidden on one of the stationary docking ships by the Levitator
course. When you get to
the Levitator pad close to a ship, use the Levitator and fly up towards it. If you try to
get up there by
continuously ascending, you won't have enough fuel to reach the edge. Instead, quickly
descend every few
seconds and immediately continue ascending (so that you don't go back down) to save fuel.
With a little
practice, you will be able to reach the docking ship and grab the Platinum Bolt.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
18.2 CARGO CRATES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The second and last Platinum Bolt is up on top of some crates that seem impossible to
climb. Go to the place
with the conveyer belt and get up between the two crates as usual. Take the cargo
transporter to the other
side and get on the elevator. When the elevator reaches the top, turn to your left. You
should see some crates
that you can jump on. Jump around the stack of crates that border the room with the
conveyer belt. You should
eventually find the Platinum Bolt.
-Second Strategy-
Instead of jumping into the cargo transporter, bounce off the crates and wall-climb on
top. Jump across the
crates to the gap where the Platinum Bolt is located and get it.
====================================================================================
19.0 GREBLIN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19.1 REMOTE TUNDRA LAND
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Similar to Tabora, there is a Platinum Bolt somewhere in the remote part of the tundra. If
you look at the
map, you will find a dark gray circle (if you have the Map-o-Matic, the circle will be
green) somewhere at the
edge of the tundra. Make your way through the wasteland to find it by an icy cliff.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19.2 MINING SHAFT ROBOT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another Platinum Bolt is in a room protected by a forcefield with a Receiver-Bot on the
inside. Take out the
Hypnomatic to control the robot. Go into the cave next to it and quickly kill the Y.E.T.I.
while searching for
an orange button. When you press the button, you will disable the forcefield. Climb up the
straddle ladder
inside to get the Platinum Bolt.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19.3 UNDERWATER TUNNEL
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the last Platinum Bolts in the game is at the end of a hidden tunnel inside the
factory. Take the
elevator inside the factory and get in the water. In the last part of the water (the part
by the elevator
leading to Angela's house), dive deep down towards the floor and look at the wall parallel
to the elevator.
You will find a hidden tunnel. Swim up the tunnel to find an extra room with a Platinum
Bolt inside.
====================================================================================
20. DAMOSEL
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20.1 CITY BANK POOL
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Platinum Bolt is located on a low platform just outside the bank. So go to the bank
and kill the enemies
there. Now go to the fountain and look outside. You will find the location of the first
bolt. To reach it,
take out the Thermonator and freeze the fountain. This will turn the water spout into an
icy grindrail. Get on
the new rail and slide to the platform. Get the Platinum Bolt and take the taxi back to
the bank.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20.2 MEGACORP PYRAMID
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The other Platinum Bolt in the level is locked away inside the giant pyramid behind the
bank. Go to it and
look at the top. You should see a Receiver-Bot on top of the pyramid. Take out the
Hypnomatic to control it.
Have the bot shoot any other robots up there and step on the orange button up there. This
will reveal an
opening under the pyramid, exposing the Platinum Bolt.
====================================================================================
21.0 YEEDIL
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21.1 BRIDGE SUPPORT CABLE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The easiest Platinum Bolt is floating on top of the support cables on the bridge by your
ship. If you jump on
the base of the cables and then the actual cables, you'll find you can grind on them.
Cross the bridge and
jump on the cable the Platinum Bolt is sitting on. When you grind up to the bolt, you will
automatically get
it and grind back down.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21.2 HIDDEN GRINDRAIL
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the end of the level, you might have seen a Platinum Bolt on an out-of-reach grindrail
course. To get it,
make your way to the end of the level, up to the point before the Swing Shot bridge and
after the Electrolyzer
puzzle. Kill the robots and look around at the pillars. You will notice one of them has a
Tractor Beam marker
on it. Take out the Tractor Beam to move the pillar. This will reveal a doorway leading to
the grindrail
course. Get on it and make your way through as you would normally. You will automatically
grab the Platinum
Bolt when you run into it.
